Son Little - What Child Is This Lyrics

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

Why does he lies in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good people feel for sinners here
The silent word is bleeding

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

Oh, raise, oh raise a song on high
His mother sings her lullaby
Oh Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

The babe, the son of Mary
The babe, the son of Mary
The babe, the son of Mary
